Since growing my hair out to a basically ridiculous length (it’s almost down to my butt!) I have had to be more intentional about keeping the ends healthy. Long hair is more prone to split ends, since the hair is older and more damaged. Those ends need a lot of nourishment to stay healthy and masks can really deliver what your hair needs.

So… what does our hair need? Iron, fats, protein, and biotin, all of which can be delivered by eggs! Protein is the main player here. Hair is actually made up mostly of protein, and a protein-rich mask can help fill in some damaged, weakened areas of your strands. Neat, right?

This DIY strengthening hair mask features eggs and hair-nourishing oils that will leave your mane soft, smooth, and super shiny!

You’ll find that once it dries, it will be especially soft, shiny, and strong! You’ll also be repairing and protecting damaged ends.

Here’s what each ingredient brings to the table:

Coconut oil is one of the most readily absorbed oils for hair, making it incredibly useful for moisturizing hair and repairing damage. According to OrganicFacts.net, “Coconut oil rich in lauric acid, has a high affinity for hair protein, and easily penetrates inside the hair shaft, which is due to its low molecular weight. It can be used for pre-wash or post-wash hair grooming.”
